2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 2.1L Diesel · YR64 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 2 June 2025 with 141,386 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures preceding passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that any identified issues were rectified prior to the re-tests. The vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards for operation with no ongoing mechanical or structural trends currently being flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this twelve-year age, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per annum. Between the July 2023 test at 133,146 miles and the July 2024 test at 137,682 miles, the car covered 4,536 miles, indicating a period of lower average use during that specific year. This steady usage suggests the previous owners maintained the car for regular commuting or short trips rather than leaving it to sit, which often prevents premature component degradation or seized brakes. Despite the clean sheet of recorded advisories in recent years, a buyer must focus on high-mileage wear common to the Mercedes A-Class. At over 141,000 miles, physical inspection should prioritize the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber or fractures. The buyer should also check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or pitting, as the MOT record does not track the thickness of these consumable items. Examining the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for corrosion is also essential, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a critical threshold of decay.
